Modern C++ Interface

Hello all. I have written a modern C++ interface for postgresql and
wanted to talk about donating it to the project. By "modern C++" I mean
an interfaces that makes use of modern C++ techniques such as exceptions
and iterators.

This C++ code provides a nice API wrapper for libpq. I have not released
to code to the public yet, but I have used it in a few of my
applications. Right now the code is tagged with a BSD license and is
available though my anonymous CVS server.

The cvs web interface:
http://pmade.org/cvs/viewcvs.cgi/pgee/

Shortcut to headers:
http://pmade.org/cvs/viewcvs.cgi/pgee/include/pgee/

I would be willing to maintain this code as a separate project, but I
think it would better serve the community if it was part of postgres.

Just as a knee jerk reply: How is your interface different to libpqxx ?
(available on gborg)

Cheers,

Patrick

Hey, remember back when Patrick Welche said:

Well, I feel pretty stupid. I had no idea that this was being developed.
The libpqxx project has the same goals as Pgee, and is much further
along in development.

Pgee does seem to be a lot less "cluttered", but I don't see any reason
why PostgreSQL should ship with Pgee over libpqxx.

Please forgive my interruption on this list, and keep up the good work!

Hi Peter,

Feel free to create a new project on gborg.postgresql.org and add your project anyway!

Or maybe you could contribute some of your ideas to libpqxx...?
